I'd take the test again, minus the donut.
As for diet...what onesnowyowl said...plus don't add sugar to anything, such as drinks, like coffee, tea, etc.

He actually went in for anxiety issues and they decided to do a blood test to see if his thyroid was working properly. He didn't really know he was going to have one done, hence no one told him to fast.. I asked him the other night if he knew he needed to fast before the test and he said no, he has never had a blood test in his life. Neither have I honestly.
I didn't tell him about the test possibly being a false reading because it is time for both of us to eat better etc.. I just don't know how I will do with no sugar in coffee, tea etc.. I can't just drink water all the time, i do get bored. And adding fruit to it? tried it, it sucked. It was water with a pretty decoration in it... What about splenda or sweet n low, could those be used like say in my iced tea? I am in Texas, we love our sweet tea
onesnowyowl, thank you so much for the detailed info! I love just about everything on the list of 'power foods' except bananas, i am allergic to them. Getting hubby to eat those things and eat better will be a challenge. This whole week has been a challenge trying to figure out what to eat etc.. I have switched him over to wheat bread when we started dating like 9 years ago and that was an amazing feat. I've always liked it better than white anyways.
So a more organic / low carb sugar free(
)diet might be a better way to go then.
Wish me luck coz this will be like the ultimate task of a life time..
